About Teresa

Teresa Worthy is an LPC with 21 years of clinical experience who blends evidence-based methods with a compassionate, person-focused stance. She draws on cognitive-behavioral tools alongside acceptance-oriented and emotionally focused techniques to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, addictions, grief, and trauma.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career stress, and a broad range of related issues such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, and domestic violence. Her manner is warm, interactive, and respectful, emphasizing sensitivity and the avoidance of stigmatizing labels.

Teresa adapts elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, CBT, DBT, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to fit each person’s story, creating individualized plans rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions. She welcomes international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Clients seeking practical coping skills, clearer communication in relationships, or support navigating life changes can expect a collaborative partnership focused on strengths and realistic steps forward. Teresa frames therapy as an empowering process and invites motivated individuals to take the first steps toward improved emotional wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and some ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the healing process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine what methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This exploration is practical and adaptable, blending styles as needed so therapy fits the client rather than forcing the client to fit a single model.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care from different locations and allow clients to maintain continuity of work while balancing day-to-day responsibilities.
